Bashir looks a real prospect. Great to see an English spinner showing these kind of skills, at such a young age. He’s got a huge amount of potential but with him getting very few games for his county there’s a danger he goes the way of the majority of the other spinners we’ve tried since Swann retired. Do our players ever go abroad to play for first class sides? I should know really

Do our players ever go abroad to play for first class sides? I should know really No, some of the younger players trying to break into their county sides will go to Australia and play some grade cricket over the winter but that’s about it. Mason Crane is the only player I can think of in recent times who played first class cricket overseas and that was a few years ago.

It needs to be resolved with Shoaib behind Jack Leach at Sommerset Same goes for Tom Hartley, whose behind overseas player Nathan Lyon at Lancashire

Maybe he’s just a natural talent. Hard to really know what these players do when they don’t play

Having won the series I’m surprised they’re not giving Potts and the Notts bowler a chance.
I think it’s clear we look relatively toothless without Broad and Anderson so need to give as many of them a chance?

Not playing Potts and Pennington is criminal, cracking preparation for the Ashes!

Still, Wood isn’t convincing at Test level imo. And we know what Woakes can do at home.
Atkinson looks a shoe in.
But other than that I’d like us to try and find better.

Bazball isn’t half brain dead cricket at times….. It’s thick as fuck really. How many minutes has Crawley spent at the crease so far in this series. It feels like about 15 minutes. Shocking for an opening batsman.

Just never understood the “night watch man” thing especially nowadays when batsmen have such a huge advantage compared to back in the day

Oh fiddlesticks. The bazball pendulum swings again. I fancy Stokes for a big innings here, he's due one.

Eng 55-5 published at 13 overs 13 overs All the fives. Ben Stokes has already left more balls in this innings than Ben Duckett has in his Test career*
*unverified statistic (but I can't be far off)
From the BBC website! 😂

A phenomenal achievement.
plays the game properly and rarely gets out to a stupid shot.
Right on cue Stokes out.

England are starting to develop a useful habit of getting out of holes, a good trait to have. Let’s hope we can squeek 2 or 3 out this evening and get it done tomorrow
